How Conventional Diabetes Management Creates More Problems

Why not inject insulin to help manage those blood sugar levels and give your overworked pancreas a break? Insulin therapy might be something to discuss with your healthcare practitioner, but for some people, it may cause more harm than good.

The real problem with insulin therapy is that using it doesn’t address why your pancreas over-produces insulin and your cells resist this hormone. And one of those problems — perhaps the main problem — is overeating sugar, especially as added sugar.

Fighting Insulin Resistance Can Help Reverse Diabetes

After all, if you cut down on your sugar intake, you don’t raise your glucose levels as much and your pancreas doesn’t have to struggle to produce insulin. Your cells are less likely to become resistant to insulin.

If you have insulin resistance, talk with your healthcare practitioner about strategies to reverse this condition before it becomes worse. If you aren’t insulin resistant, do everything you can to prevent it.

You have control over many risk factors for insulin resistance. The biggest one how you eat.

In one study, researchers looked at people over 175 different countries. The more sugar they ate, the higher their rate of diabetes. In fact, for every additional 150 calories of sugar people in that country ate a day, diabetes levels increased one percent.

Watch for hidden and high sugar foods and stop eating them. You know the usual suspects like candy, cookies, and chips. But sugar can come in places you might not suspect, such as green juices, yogurt, dried fruit, and whole wheat bread. Read labels carefully and be aware of the many disguises that sugar can take. Better yet, minimize any processed food and stick with real whole food that doesn’t have barcodes.
